Traveller information

Immigration and customs:

Passports must be valid at least until the date of departure. Visas are required by most Commonwealth nationals. Prohibited imports include some food.

Travel within the country:

Traffic drives on the left and car hire is available with a local driving permit. These can be purchased from car hire firms, the Ministry of Transport or local police stations on production of a foreign driving licence.

Taxis are widely available; fares are government controlled. Bus services connect all major points on the island. Minibuses ply similar routes but without schedules and they can be flagged down anywhere on the island.
